candidate.fyi newsletter

Hi Everyone,

As I write this, I’m gearing up for my 2nd half-marathon in the past week. We attended the UKG aspire conference last week in Las Vegas, and I made it back right before the airport chaos hit. Anyway, two half marathons in one week…I must’ve been feeling optimistic when I signed up.

It’s been an exciting, packed few weeks. We’ve rolled out major new features, added some incredible companies to our customer roster - including billion-dollar enterprises - and doubled down on our mission to make interview scheduling seamless for everyone.

This newsletter is loaded with everything we’ve been working on, thinking about, and celebrating lately:

• What do these rocketships have in common?

• UKG Aspire Conference

• Relativity Space TA Ops Leader sees a 75% improvement in time to schedule with candidate. fyi 

• We’re listed in the 2025 HR AI Innovators Report!  

Brands trust us to power their interview scheduling at scale. It’s a testament to the growing recognition of candidate.fyi as the leader in interview scheduling and candidate engagement.

Excited? You should be. Let’s jump in.

From Earth to Orbit: The Fastest-Growing Teams Are Choosing candidate.fyi

What do these rocketships have in common?

• A $3B+ company leading a global fitness movement

• A $10B+ giant redefining how companies communicate

• A $50B+ AI powerhouse shaping the future of computing

• A $4B+ space disruptor literally building rockets

They’ve all become candidate.fyi customers recently 

What started as an idea between two brothers has grown into the go-to interview scheduling engine inside some of the most ambitious companies on the planet.

Why?
Because hiring has changed.
Candidate experience matters.
Efficiency matters.

And the fastest-growing teams in the world are no longer leaving it to chance with duct-taped calendars and outdated recruiting stacks.

Something’s shifting - and we’re proud to be at the forefront of that shift.

Let’s go. 💥

UKG Aspire Conference

Some teams attend conferences to meet the leads.
We show up for the conversations.

Earlier this month, three of us made the trip to UKG Aspire, where 5,000+ leaders gathered to shape the future of how people hire, pay, and grow.

Becoming a UKG partner earlier this year made attending Aspire feel like a full-circle moment - one where we got to connect with the community, learn from forward-thinking teams, and share how candidate.fyi is helping modernize interview scheduling across the UKG ecosystem.

We captured a quick video with our team on why this conference meant so much to us and what we were most excited to see and learn while we were there.

P.S. Shoutout to everyone who stopped by Booth C2-05—we had a blast chatting with you (and yes, handing out a little Vegas cash for the tables 🎰).

Customer Spotlight: Relativity Space

We’re officially helping power hiring for space exploration—and the results are already making an impact.

Shortly after joining Relativity Space, their Recruiting Operations leader implemented candidate.fyi. In just over a month, the team has already seen a 76% improvement in time-to-schedule.

📊 The Numbers:

• Month 1: 2.8 days average to schedule interviews

• Mid-Month 2: Just 16.2 hours

• That’s a 76% reduction in scheduling time—within weeks

Why It Matters:
Speed is everything in high-stakes hiring environments like Relativity’s—and candidate.fyi is helping them move faster, coordinate better, and free up their team to focus on what matters most.

As their RecOps leader shared:

We’re proud to partner with teams shaping the future—on Earth and beyond. 🌎🚀
